ElIgIBIlItY: this program is open to professionals and advanced students in health-related fields, and is not suitable for the general public.
“(Steve Hayes’ workshop was) … practical, inspiring, challenging and fun. It not only transformed my clinical practice, it gave me a whole new way of seeing the world. I’d highly recommend Steve’s workshops to anyone.” – Russ Harris, M.D., Author of The Happiness Trap
A cceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a revolutionary
approach to psychotherapy that challenges even our most basic assumptions of mental well-being. ACT encourages clients to recognize and abandon the avoidance patterns that, paradoxically, exacerbate their suffering – and learn what emotional pain, anxiety, or sadness may have to teach. It helps clients and therapists alike become more aware and psychologically flexible.
The workshop will be presented by Steven C. Hayes, PhD, ACT’s founder and a primary contributor to its development. Participants will (1) learn the six features of psychological flexibility, (2) practice useful clinical techniques based on the model, and (3) leave knowing how they can use these concepts and techniques to augment and empower their own clinical practices. This workshop is open to therapists without prior experience with ACT. However concepts, techniques and new clinical material will be presented that will help take more experienced ACT professionals to the next level.
Day 1: Dr. Hayes will provide a comprehensive understanding of the psychological flexibility model and how it helps solve the problem of human suffering. Using the ACT ‘hexaflex’ he will describe the six core processes of ACT, and how therapists can use them to formulate cases and develop powerful, individualized treatment interventions.
During the afternoon, a detailed analysis of a videotaped
clinical session will give participants a
‘moment-by-moment’ sense of ACT in action.
Day 2: Participants will learn and practice methods that increase awareness in session,
foster a powerful therapeutic relationship,
and help clients connect with their deepest values.
Demonstrations and practice sessions will help you learn several interventions particularly representative of the ACT philosophy. During lunch, Dr. Hayes will review a second videotaped clinical session. The strategic use of creative hopelessness, fostering defusion, and choosing whether to go “left or right” in the ACT model are among specific topics covered.
...a detailed analysis of a
videotaped clinical session will provide a ‘moment-by-moment’
sense of ACT in action.

Steven C. Hayes, PhD is Nevada Foundation Professor at the Department
of Psychology at the University of Nevada. An author of 32 books and nearly 450 scientific articles, he has shown in his research how patterns of language and thought can lead to human suffering, and has developed acceptance, mindfulness, and values-based methods as a way of correcting these processes. His popular book ‘Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life’ was featured in Time Magazine among several other major media outlets and for a time was the number one best selling self-help book in the United States.
Dr Hayes is one of the original developers of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and continues to evolve the model today. He is one of the world’s most influential clinical psychologists, and has won numerous awards for his contributions to the field. A past president of several scientific societies, he is an inspired and inspiring educator and an internationally-recognized speaker. His seminars are immensely popular and invariably receive rave reviews.
